Undergraduate Statistics 2015-2016

ST1506: UNDERSTANDING DATA

15 credits

Level 1

Second Sub Session

This is a statistics course
open to all first and second year students.
It is a useful course for students whose degree subject involves some
amount of statistical analysis. The course teaches students how to summarise
data effectively and how to correctly interpret it. Among the topics covered are sampling
strategies, probability theory, confidence intervals and hypothesis tests.
There are also weekly computer practicals using the statistics software
Minitab. The mathematical context is emphasised but students are not expected
to have a high level of maths.
